Ryner just wants to take a nap but he's the main character. He literally gets thrown in jail and is OK with it so he can nap. He writes essays on napping.

I, too, just wanna nap

any advice on buying a window AC unit? in c/[email protected]

Can't improve insulation? Did you mean can? If so, yes, that's on the to do list. We need better windows too.

Yes, those are good tips thanks.

We have to buy a window unit for our house. We have Central AC but it's not keeping up and we can't afford to upsize it right now. So until then I'm researching which window units to buy. Any advice or anything to cut through all the marketing spam and AI copy that I have to wade thru?

Cooking. Maintaining a clean household. I'm the cook/baker and cleaner and I'm male.

Which of your favorite sci-fi tech seems achievable in a reasonable timeframe, say 100 years? in c/[email protected]

Exoskeletons like Ripley's in Alien. We've got smaller ones, but I want to pilot a walking fork lift.

Pipe dream - battlemechs aka mechwarrior (not pacific rim). Very impractical but I want one anyway. Yes, I saw the robot fighting league by Megabots. I have their poster.

I never thought I'd praise Fusion360 but NX is so bad. (lemm.ee)

Seriously, wtf is wrong with NX. I'd never heard of it before starting this job. I've used fusion and SolidWorks. SolidWorks 15 years ago was better than this.

What. The. Hell.

Everything I try to do is more restricted or takes more steps or isn't even possible.

That sounds horrible.

Yep. It's level 0 tech support, HR, etc. It's about 50% successful. Then when it fails, it connects you to a person.

why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't? (lemm.ee)

I'm not looking for medical advice, but more understanding. I have chronic back pain. I can alleviate it completely with only 2 things - alcohol and a heating pad. Ibuprofen lessens it but it's still present. Muscle relaxers do nothing (which makes sense because it's not muscle related, it's spinal disk degeneration).

A tall glass of whiskey makes my back relax and I can move normally. Once it wears off tho, it's right back to tense and painful.
